Not that I agree with you, but you remind me of this line from Head Office (1985):
Jane Caldwell: Don't fall for it, Jack. Jack Issel: Fall for what? Jane Caldwell: For the lie we keep telling ourselves. We do the dirty stuff to get the power. It'll give us all the good things we really want. Then we get the power, we can't even remember what goddamn thing what it was we wanted it for in the first place.
Can it allow the user to create new application associations when the operating system fails to provide any (i.e. the Preferences > Applications tab is blank)?
Don't forget, the Democrats (and Republicans) in the House and Senate are just as complacent in whatever damage has been done, by allowing it to continue and contributing their own malfeasance.
Excuse me, please, but don't you mean "complicit"?
[coming down from quicksilver madness] Darien Fawkes: There was a mime. I beat the Hell out of a mime. What happened to him? Is he okay? Robert Hobbes: Relax. He did not recover. Darien Fawkes: Thank God!
Maybe they have a trademark on Earth and are just aggressively defending it.
So far I don't have anything to worry about people infringing on my trademark of actual pictures of any part of the Universe as taken from inside any black hole's event horizon.
Personally, I find it a bit hard to believe that a civilization is smart enough to travel interstellar distances but too stupid to use basic camouflage.
That would surely depend on their home world's peculiarities, horticulturally speaking. For example, consider the Shaltanacs of the planet Broop Kidron Thirteen and the mauve-y shade of pinky russet of their joopleberry shrubs, starships, and first-contact uniforms.
Called Securexam Remote Proctor, it's about the size of a large paperweight and plugs into a standard port on a home computer. The pedestal includes a groove for scanning fingerprints, a tiny microphone, and a camera. The sphere reflects a 360-degree view around the test taker, which the camera picks up.
Nevermind proctoring, how about using this for round-table podcasts? Instead of a multi-camera shoot, put this on the table in front of everyone and do your cuts to who is talking all in post.
Students pay $150 for the device.
Losing the fingerprint scanner would drop the price a bit, and audio for each panelist could still be recorded using a multi-track recorder. But you may need HD resolution for capture in order to get SD-quality shots for editing, which you don't need for simple monitoring.
A co-worker lost a lot of equipment in a lightning strike recently. Anything with coaxial cable or network cables got fried.
And his battery-operated alarm clock spontaneously reset as well.
Once you're dealing with charged air allowing current to jump the air gap between clouds and ground, it doesn't much matter what you're doing with your little metal wires.
Me, I have a transmitter tower a few blocks north of my house tall enough to take the lightning and far enough away not to affect my home.

So it looks like the search looks for variations of any of the words ... within 7 words of the person named at the start of the search.
So it finds Kevin Bacon?
They do TRY to be secure with the LEO-only portions though.
So, if you're beyond a Low Earth Orbit, you're safe?
Law Enforcement Officer, but I like your sense of humor.
I would have also laughed if you took it as limiting access based on astrological sign.
I would like to see Slashdot return to actually discussing important technical news
Then find some and submit it.
Newton said "if I see farther than other men, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants"
Today, there's a single occupancy rule placed upon that.
As long as the cops are using silencers, that is the only proper way.
I disagree:

Actually, I'd say you're the only one that got it. (No one with mod points did.)
Perhaps I should have ended it with, "In the end, there can be only profit," to make the reference-joke just that bit more obvious.
How about UFOs?
Bigfoot? Unicorns? Sasquatch? Leprechauns? Phoenix?
Chupathingy?
At $13,000 for a minimum order of 100, the NPX-9000 is not an Impulse buy.
It'll be a suddenoutbreakofcommonsense when the RIAA realizes how stupid they're being...which will be when they're all dead.
Unfortunately, as a corporation, they are immortal. They cannot die unless you take their capital (decapitalate?), and with it their power.
Maybe they have a trademark on Earth and are just aggressively defending it.

Would be more stable than holding it or trying to push the button and let it go without making it rotate.
Even my cell phone has an option for timed photo capture (5 or 10 second delay). That's enough time to stabilize in zero gee.
Which is a weirder costume to wear while having sex: Tron Guy or Slim Goodbody?
Or, go the opposite of Alien3 with Tron2, where the 2 is subscripted as signifying base 2 (though Tron(2) could work too I guess).
Unfortunately <sup> and <sub> tags don't work here.
Leo Laporte covered this on This Week in Tech months ago. The twitterer is "comcastcares".

Meanwhile it seems that the web is ahead of the curve. A story about ATM scammers implanting an Asus Eee PC in an ATM to record card information is followed by information on where to find deals on Asus Eee PCs.
No links on where to buy blank credit cards though. But according to this movie novelty cards, magnetic tape, and glue work just as well.

Fortunately Godzillagrams (sense 1) haven't been supported by IPv4 for a very long time.
"Blogger accounts for around 2% of malware," according to Sophos's senior technology consultant, Graham Cluley.
Is this two percent a plurality?
"It's head and shoulders above the rest
Oh, apparently--
[of the blogging services]."
... not?
Does Sophos only survey blogs?
The original news item says 4th century meaning 4 AD not 4 BCE
1 century equals 100 years
So in the 300s AD then.
